Chapter 8 Auspiciousness is back
The sister-in-law drove the three children back to the room to sleep, and the rich sister-in-law also drove the three children back to sleep, and she sat at the door, staring at the gate of the yard with a pair of eyes.
The sound of gentle footsteps came, and the rich sister-in-law knew that it was her own man who came back when she heard it, and hurriedly opened the door of the yard, and sure enough, the two figures finally entered the house from far to near.
Grandma Xiang lit the candle that she had been reluctant to light, opened the grass on the back basket, and saw the full ears of rice at a glance, and couldn't help but smile.
Just these two baskets of rice ears, it is estimated that they can also produce more than ten catties of rice, enough for Fubao to eat for a few months, thinking of this, Grandma Xiang asked Fugui to put the rice ears in their room, and take them out to dry tomorrow.
"Fugui, this rice will have to be harvested in another three or five days, we will start digging the cellar at home tomorrow, dig a little bigger, and after three or five days, you go to the county to call Jixiang back." Old Man Xiang said.
"Dad, the auspicious master may not be willing to let the auspicious come back." Fugui shook his head and said.
The old man shook his hand, Ping'an had already told him, now the business in the carpenter shop is light, maybe the auspicious master can't wait to leave now, they all say that half the size of the child eats the poor old man, auspicious is the time to eat.
In the next few days, Fu Bao watched his grandfather and father go to work and get off work as usual, but when they were resting, they dug a cellar at home, which was really big enough, and they would definitely not find it if they hid in it.
The grandmother and the eldest aunt dried the rice ears in the backyard, dried them and then rolled and hulled them with a stone grinding disc, and then processed the brown rice into white rice with a stone mortar and mortar pestle.
Watching my grandmother pound down with a pestle in her hand until the rice bran is completely peeled off the brown rice, then sifting off the rice bran with a bamboo sieve, the white rice is presented in front of you.
Grandma put the white rice into a clay pot, filled it and hid it in her house, and the eldest aunt took the leftover white rice to the kitchen and cooked rice to eat today.
Fu Bao smelled the smell of rice from the kitchen, and the harazi flowed down again, and the rich sister-in-law looked at her daughter's gluttony, went to the kitchen with a smile, took a bowl and carefully scraped off a layer of rice oil, blew it cold and sent it to the little girl's mouth.
Fu Bao smashed the rice oil in his mouth, but his brows were slightly furrowed, why does this thing smell so good, it doesn't taste as good as his mother's milk.
Seeing Fu Bao turn his head, the rich sister-in-law knew that the little girl didn't like to eat this, so she handed the bowl to her youngest son Xiangqian, who was the weakest and should make up for it.
Xiangqian watched Fubao eat rice oil and secretly swallowed several mouthfuls of saliva, but he knew that his sister was still young and had no teeth, so he simply turned his head away from looking.
I didn't expect happiness to come so quickly, my mother gave half a bowl of rice oil to herself, and I couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, and my brothers were also hungry, or everyone would share it.
"Xiangqian eat quickly, except for Fubao, you are the youngest in the family, and your brothers will not talk about you."
The sister-in-law walked out with a pot of rice, saw Xiangqian's twisted appearance, said with a smile, and then went to the yard to pick a few handfuls of green onions, and my mother gave a few eggs, and the green onions scrambled eggs, which tasted good.
"Ping'an's family, your family ate rice today, why is it so fragrant." A voice came from overhead, and the sister-in-law looked up and saw that it was the dog girl next door, talking to herself through a wall.
"Yes, dog, my younger brother and sister don't have enough milk, so a little bit of fine food at home should be eaten by my younger brother and sister."
The sister-in-law hurriedly responded, the dog girl is a greedy master when there is a cheap, but fortunately, the dog father can hold on, and the two families can continue to live together in harmony.
"Mother, sister-in-law, I'm back."
There was an auspicious voice at the door, and sure enough, the old man Xiang guessed correctly, because the carpenter's shop was not doing well, and they were worried about how to let auspiciousness leave.
The arrival of wealth and nobility solved their predicament, and directly let Jixiang become a teacher, and also gave Jixiang a set of old tools that were used before, which can be regarded as a round of master-apprentice love.
Jixiang knelt down, kowtowed to the master three times, and no matter what the master and his wife did to him, he always gave him a bite to eat, slept on the ground, and learned the carpenter's fur.
Master Jixiang's eyes were also a little moist, this child was born with great strength, but he also had a large amount of food, it was not that he wanted to starve this child, he really couldn't make ends meet.
"Jixiang, the master has no choice, you take this set of tools, and the simple cabinet can still be played after you go back, if you don't understand, come to the master, and the master will teach you."
Jixiang stood up, nodded with a smile, and left with Fugui with tools and a small bag of clothes, along the way, Fugui quietly told Jixiang that the family had found several acres of wild rice fields, and let him come back to help harvest.
Jixiang understood, no wonder the second brother wanted to come to him, it turned out that there was night grass at home, and when he heard that there were so many acres, his eyes lit up.
When he returned home, Jixiang saw a big pot of rice on the dinner table at a glance, and knew in his heart that this was the wild rice that the second brother said, and his stomach couldn't help gurgling, Fugui smiled, and took him up the mountain to cut rice at night when he was full.
At the dinner table, everyone ate with their heads covered, a pot of pickled radishes was almost finished, a large pot of eggs and scrambled green onions but no one ate them, everyone wanted to leave it to Fugui's sister-in-law, as long as Fugui's sister-in-law had enough milk, Fubao would not be hungry.
How could a rich sister-in-law eat alone, although she was hungry for this plate of eggs, she resolutely did not stretch out her chopsticks, and finally Grandma Xiang stood up, or she would share it.
Pulled a small piece into the bowl of the old man Xiang and himself, pulled a small piece in each child's bowl, and poured the rest into the bowl of the rich sister-in-law.
"Milk, the rice is very fragrant, we can do it without vegetables." Xiang Chu said, picked out the eggs in his bowl again, and gave them to his mother.
"Milk, the eldest brother is right, the rice is very fragrant, this is for the second uncle." Xiangshan also began to move his chopsticks, and did not forget to put a grain of rice in his mouth.
"Okay, I'll eat for you, and when our family has money, we'll send you to a private school." Old Man Xiang knocked on the table and said.
The sister-in-law looked at the old man Xiang with shiny eyes, if the children can really go to private school, they don't expect them to be admitted to the top of the show, but it is also good to be a bookkeeper like his father.
"Dad, do I have any money in my family?" Jixiang asked.
The old man shook his head, but he smiled in his heart, the bison is coming, the wild rice is coming, as long as the family is united and diligent, will the silver be far away.
In the afternoon, the old man Xiang and Fugui went to the field, and Jixiang went up the mountain with a firewood knife, he knew that he had found a few acres of wild rice at home, and if he wanted to harvest it, he had to get a cart.
Although the auspicious master said that he was his master, the real handicraft was not taught to auspiciousness, and he generally gave the master a hand, doing some simple, easy-to-understand and hard-working work.
